Lubricant Analysis Technologies

The testing of a lubricant is an important method to determine:

• The condition of the lubricant
• If it is correct for the application
• The remaining useful lifetime of the lubricant
• Potential maintenance problems
• Potential wear control issues
• Contamination control
• Operational conditions of the equipment

The testing can also be directed toward the source of a problem that has been causing operational problems. This analyses can be a key to the investigation of Root Cause Analyses.

There are certain criteria that are measured in an analysis for turbine oils.
